Nevada Food Business Laws

Nevada currently has a $35,000/year cap with limited food types and venues. AB 352 (passed 2025) will triple the cap to $100,000, allow online/phone/mail sales, and transfer regulation to Dept of Agriculture — but not until July 2027. Currently restricted to baked goods, jams/jellies, and limited non-perishable items.

Nevada lacks a dedicated commercial feed STATUTE — AAFCO classifies NV (with Alaska) as not having an established commercial feed law, so pet treats are generally not subject to a state feed-law license; products must still meet federal FDA/CVM labeling. IMPORTANT: the Nevada Dept of Agriculture nonetheless runs a Commercial Feed Licensing program (agri.nv.gov/CommercialFeed) — confirm your specific product's status with them before selling unlicensed rather than assuming a blanket exemption.
